Link entered the portal. He had filled all of his bottles with fairies and equipped his shield. With a flurry of colors and wind, he opened his eyes to a surprising sight. The floor was very shallow water. It was reflecting the near cloudless deep blue sky. Looking down, he could see his reflection better than any mirror he had looked through.
Looking back up, he saw Demise standing with his back to him. "Ah, so you have decided to meet your end in battle after all." The grotesque figure in front of him said. "it pleases me greatly to see such misplaced valor, human. Take a moment to appreciate your surroundings, for where we stand shall serve as your tomb for eternity." Link just scoffed.
The demon started to slowly circle him. "the hatred for the gods that have boiled through my veins… you will taste all of it in the bite of my sword. The only question left is how long you will remain standing before I take your life. Try to keep it interesting for me, would you?
"and when you do fall, know that your world and everything in it is mine to dominate. Mine to subjugate. Mine to RULE! When I finish with you, you can take solace in knowing your friends and kin will soon follow, as I wipe out all who oppose me from the face of this world!"
Link readied himself to an offensive position, knowing the battle would soon ensue. "It won't be long now. At last, the almighty power I have sought for millennia… I will take the triforce for my own… AND THE WORLD SHALL BE UNDER MY FOOT FOR ETERNITY!" as he said this the sky became overcast with black clouds.
Link readied himself and lunged at Demise. He easily blocked it with his sword and landed a counterstrike, severely damaging Link. He stumbled back, anger starting to boil inside him. lunging again, he tried to hit Demise, failing once again, but dodging the counter attack and getting a hit in before demise could regain his balance.
This cycle went on, for a while, Link had to use two fairies before he was able to knock demise completely off his feet. The anger boiled over in Demise, causing a lightning storm. Pointing his sword straight up, demise caught a lightning strike and with a move similar to a skyward strike, let a blast of energy hurdle towards Link.
Not expecting this, Link was too slow in trying to dodge, and was hit with enough energy to drain the rest of his life. As a fairy came out of the bottle, demise was able to catch another bolt and fling the energy at link before he could fully recover.
Getting up, Link readied his sword and copied what demise was doing. He was able to catch a bolt, but demise rushed him before he could swing his sword. While link was down, Demise got another bolt and sent it flying at link before he could get another bolt. The last fairy came out of the bottle and Link was growing desperate.
He only had eight hearts left and was far from beating Demise. Link was now on the defensive. He kept dodging everything he could, trying to get a bolt, but every time he was close, demise would beat him to throwing it. Link was down to one heart. He hadn't been able to touch demise since the lightning started and Demise knew it.
With one final, desperate move, link grabbed a bolt and threw it. Demise threw one at the exact same time and they collided in the air. Demise saw what was happening and rushed up, behind the flash of the collision and caught link by surprise, giving one final blow with his sword.
Time stopped. Link stumbled backwards, staring at the last cut across his chest. Blood started seeping through his tunic. Demise straightened up, dismissing his sword, changing it to Ghirahim. Link looked down at his chest, shock on his face. Falling to his knees, he looked up at Demise, pure hatred seared through his eyes.
"You put up a good fight, Hero, if I may call you that." Demise taunted. "You have failed, but I will keep you just alive long enough to see your precious goddess die before your eyes." Link fell over, curled up in pain. Demise walked up to him and grabbed picked him up by his collar. "You will come with me." He teleported them to the gate of time.
